its getting closer

that fair is getting closer and I have been filling orders - so its YAY! and OH No! at the same time.

I love that I have had more sucess recently but Oh my.. I have a lot of happy hooking to do.
I finished a hat today and started another one this one in red. I finished another grey scalloped hat this time I added some detail to it..

I also did two more bearded hats via request.

now to concentrate on the big stuff

well that happened...

I finished a lot of custom orders in the last couple weeks . now I can concentrate on my current inventory for the fair and my etsy shop.
Its nice to have that done and now to work on something else that I want to.. but I like custom work. its satisfying.
SO thats 6 sets of mittens, a beanie a headband, and a bearded hat all done...

I'm almost done with the over sized buclee wrap, its done in black grey and white.
I am also working on a hat, and have plans for a few more things.

I know I need to do more men wear but I'm thinking dish towel toppers too.
being a hooker the opportunities are endless.

love this kind of work its a blast.

Just a Little busy .. ok a lot

I'm one happy hooker.
I finished a big order of 6 sets of kids mittens  and shipped it , shipped a ready to wear order as well, recived another custom order and Im almost done with that and have another custom order in line. :) This is good.
Makes me glad to be busy, and keep my hands busy-
I also got a new shawl listed- my fern shalw pattern but in a deep red.

I have a new buclee shalw in the works- its a grey and black striping.
I have plans of other things but never know IF I can get then done with all Im doing now.

My spouse will also be ordering me some new mugs so I can have them as a promo item for not only the fair but I think I may do a giveaway.. not sure yet though.

Im also writing a few more patterns.
Anyway, that's what is going on in my wierd little yarn world.

new pieces now listed..

I finally listed the new pieces I previewed.. all but the teal one.. that will be listed in the next day or two.
I also will be starting on some other pieces. these comming weeks including my best seller- the cozy shawl.
I also am currently working on a grey cotton bag. Im going to add some fun to it ( novelty yarn) for a little something extra.

I cant wait to see how the pieces turn out. I love hooking.. even when I have to take a short break and look at other things for inspiration..

gonna list a few things..but here is a preview

A few pieces I finnished and are in blocking.
Thought I would share as I think they came out nicely.
Im working on naming them as I write the descriptions..

Arent they pretty?

got into a BIG show

I found out on Monday I got into a big craft fair. It's juried and it is my first juried event.
Not sure how the heck I will have enough inventory but I HOPE I have enough.
I also have a table at another small show at a local catholic parish..
Im also planning on listing my ornaments on September first-  and will be making more.

ok more of everything.. so yep this hooker will be busy.
I will still be offering promo through my fan page on facebook.
and will always make time for custom work.
but - holy hooker batman!
 I have my work cut out for me between now and November..
My mom has a booth with me too this year.. but her things are more sewn or egg art.

an exciting day..

not only did I sell 6 items.. I got accpeted to a LARGE fair in November..
ANDI was reminded of a second fair in November..
so happy and OH CRUD at the same time. I have a TON of hooking to do to have the inventory I need at these fairs.
